Egg Mosaic


I so guilty! I have had time to do crafts with my kids. Sorry guys. Must have better time management.

Anyways, this was done earlier. I had recently started baking and I saved all the egg shells for this craft. I had intended to let my daughter do this but she seems to be only interested in paints and nothing else and so my son did it instead.

Materials needed:

  • Egg Shells, cleaned and dried
  • Assorted food colourings
  • Double-sided Tape
  • Paper
How to do it:
  1. Put a few drop of assorted food colouring on to plastic plates.
  2. Roll the egg shells in them.
  3. Pour the colourings into the shells and swirl around if you want it coated there as well.
    Put all coloured shells on a newspaper and let them dry.
  4. Once dried, crush the shells but not into too small a pieces.
  5. Tape your paper with double-sided tape.
  6. Remove the protecting paper of the tape.
  7. Press the coloured shells on the tape to stick them.
  8. Once completed, you'll have a piece of colourful Egg Mosaic and equally colourful fingers. *wink*
Note:
You can tape the paper any pattern you like. Don't have to be a rectangle.
